Another warm night greeted race fans at the LaCrosse Speedway, but cooler and smarter heads would prevail in the heat of battle in tonight’s racing action. Steve Carlson may have a stranglehold on the NASCAR Late Model championship race, but reigning track champion Nick Panitzke still has some fight left in him. Pantizke would take the lead from Nick Clements with three laps to go, and keep Carlson at bay to capture his third feature win of 2018.

Pole sitter Tom Carlson surged ahead of Jerimy Wagner to lead the first three laps of the NASCAR Late Model feature. Wagner would catch Carlson and take the lead from him on lap four. Nick Clements got around Carlson for second two laps later. Clements could not make up a lot of ground on Wagner as the Onalaska veteran would maintain a lead of four car lengths. Would tonight be the night Wagner’s rough patch came to an end? It would be derailed by a caution on lap 13. Justin Mullikin’s rear end was smoking and leaking fluid, causing Justin Zmyewski and Ryan Brown to spin out in turn two. On the restart, Clements would assume command of the race from Wagner. Wagner would once again catch a second wind to charge past Clements and take back the lead on lap 17. Behind him, Nick Panitzke and Steve Carlson were starting to enter the picture. Both made quick work of Clements on lap 18. They began reeling in Wagner over the next four laps. Panitzke dove under Wagner in turn one on lap 22 to take over the top spot, while Carlson would claim second down the back straight. Both would be nose-to-tail in the closing laps, but Panitzke would not be denied victory in the end. After the race, Panitzke said “I think we fell behind due to lack of effort in recent weeks. We will continue to keep plugging away.” Wagner matched his career best feature finish with a third, while Mike Carlson and Cole Howland rounded out the top five.

Patiently working his way through the field in the Sportsmen feature, Tom Luethe would get around Dan Secor for the lead at halfway. Secor would crash on the back straight with four laps to go. Luethe had to deal with both uncle Dan Gilster and Chris Weber, but Luethe would successfully keep them behind him and capture his fourth feature win in five weeks.

Taylor Dobbs would lead the first half of the Thunderstox feature, but then Adam Moore would drive around Dobbs to take the win. After slicing and dicing his way through the field in the Mini-Van feature, Matt Moore would take the lead just before halfway to claim his second straight feature win.

Halfway through the show the annual wacky Outhouse Race novelty event took place. While Chris Christen took a header getting to the outhouse, Adam Moore was the quickest to grab the toilet paper.

Action continues next Saturday night, August 18th with the weekly racing finale. The final weekly show of 2018 before Oktoberfest includes the last double feature night of the season for the NASCAR Late Models, plus the Sportsmen, Thunderstox and Street Stocks. Bring the kids out early for the last KQ98 Kids’ Rides of the season. Gates open at 6:00, qualifying takes place at 6:15 and racing starts at 7:30.

The annual La Crosse Interstate Fair always brings a lot of fun and excitement to the Coulee Region. That is always the case every Saturday night here at the LaCrosse Speedway, and this Saturday night was no exception. All five feature events ran without any yellow flag interruptions, including the latest round of double features for the NASCAR Late Models. Steve Carlson swept the double features for a second time this season, bringing his season win total to seven.

Bobby Wilberg would charge by Matthew Henderson to take charge of the first NASCAR Late Model feature. He would lead the opening seven laps. Nick Clements would come from his fourth starting spot to catch and drive around Wilberg for the lead on lap eight. Steve Carlson would also make his way through the field, getting around Matt Henderson for third on lap six. The very next lap he took over second from Wilberg. Carlson quickly caught Clements and surged past him on lap ten to take command of the race at halfway. Carlson and Clements would runaway from the field in the second half of the race. Clements tried to catch up to Carlson, but Carlson would maintain a five car length lead the rest of the way as he claimed his sixth win of the season. Cole Howland finished third after being fast qualifier for a sixth time in the last seven shows. Wilberg came home in fourth, and Michael Beamish claimed fifth.

Mike Ehde got ahead of Justin Mullikin to take the lead at the start of NASCAR Late Model feature #2. Ehde would hold onto the lead with Mullikin pressing the Prairie du Chien veteran for the top spot. They even got into a few side-by-side battles. Eventually Ehde would drive wide in turns one and two on lap eight, allowing Mullikin to zoom into the race lead. Clements would also get around Ehde for second a lap later. Mullikin would withstand the pressure Clements was applying, but Clements would dive under Mullikin to become the leader on lap 13. Steve Carlson came from deep in the field to track down the leader. Carlson would take third from Nick Panitzke on lap 12, and second from Mullikin two laps later. Carlson would catch Clements and use the outside groove to get in a neck-and-neck battle over the final two laps. Carlson would charge by Clements on the final lap to score the double feature sweep. After the race, Carlson said “Our car was a little tight in the second race. It was a little harder for me to work the outside groove. Overall, we had a pretty good car tonight.” Clements got loose coming to the finish line, but just edged Panitzke for second. Mullikin claimed another career best with a fourth, and Mike Ehde claimed his first top five of the season.

Travis Gordon would lead his first laps ever in the Sportsmen feature, leading the opening five laps. Tom Luethe would slice and dice through the field before catching and passing Gordon on lap eight to assume the race lead. Luethe would drive away with the feature win for the third week in a row.

Adam Moore started on the pole for the Thunderstox feature and left the field in his dust. Moore pulled out to a huge lead, and would lead all 15 laps en route to yet another victory. Kendon Thurk led the first seven laps of the Hornet feature, but then would have to contend with 2016 champion Kris Berg. Berg would charge by on lap eight and drive away to a very comfortable win.

Action continues on Saturday night, August 4th with the NASCAR Late Models, Sportsmen, Thunderstox, Hornets and Mini-Vans. Bring the kids out early for the KQ98 Kids’ Rides, and stick around for the biggest event of the year at the end of the night.

It was another warm night of NASCAR racing at the LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway. The warm weather always seems to make the racing a little more challenging for the competitors. Tonight it was Cole Howland’s night to make it to victory lane. After being fastest in qualifying in five of the last six shows, Howland would keep veteran Tom Carlson in the rear view to claim his first NASCAR Late Model feature win of the season.

Greg Borchardt and Don Turner brought the field to the green for the NASCAR LM feature. Borchardt got loose in turn one, but he slide off the track and somehow would keep all four wheels straight. Turner took advantage and took the lead. Tom Carlson surged past Turner to assume the top spot on lap three. Yellow flew on lap eight for Borchardt’s solo loop in turn two. Carlson would now have to deal with Cole Howland on the restart. Cole wasted little time driving by Carlson to take over the race lead. Meanwhile, the rest of the top runners would having a hard time trying to move up through the field. That allowed both Howland and Carlson to build a huge advantage on the field. Howland would hold a few car lengths advantage over Carlson the rest of the way and drive off with his first feature win of 2018. After the race, Howland said “I was going to the high side on the restart to get around Carlson. I knew I had a good car. My team has been working hard to make this feature win happen.” Nick Panitzke got around Matt Henderson with a few laps to go to claim third. Nick Clement shot by both Steve Carlson and Henderson to take fourth, while Henderson recorded a fifth-place finish.

Last week Tom Luethe scored his first-ever Sportsmen feature win. This week Luethe would make it to victory lane for a second straight week. Unlike last week’s feature, Steve Bachman would keep pace with Luethe. However, Bachman could not muster enough of a rally of catch Luethe in the end.

Bill Schott took the lead at the start of the Thunderstox feature. He would have to deal with challenges from Andy Moore and Brad Warthan late in the going. Schott would keep them at bay and capture the win. Jestin Delap Sr. would lose the lead in the Street Stock feature to Dan Frye with six laps to go. Despite a yellow with four laps to go, Frye would hold onto the top spot and claim victory.

The leaders ran into lap traffic in the Upper Midwest Vintage feature, causing a calamity in turn three halfway through the race. Larry Bolster would inherit the lead and score the win in his first race at La Crosse in nine years. The night wrapped up with the Shipwreck Boat Race. ‘Reckless’ John Clausen would top the fan vote and earn the fish trophy for winning.

The 128th edition of the LaCrosse Interstate Fair takes place July 18th-22nd. A lot of food, a lot of exhibits, a lot of entertainment and a lot of thrilling rides await fair goers.

The race fans were not only treated to picture perfect weather, but they were also treated to some great racing on the track at the LaCrosse Speedway. Taking a break from his duties with Roush Fenway Racing and racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Ty Majeski returned to his home track for the first time in 2018. Majeski would score a clean sweep of night’s racing as he would capture quick time, a last to first 6-For-6 Dash win and a dominant performance in the feature event.

Brent Kirchner outdueled Don Turner for the lead at the start of the NASCAR Late Model feature. Justin Mullikin would catch Kirchner and assume command of the race on lap six. Mullikin would lead the next four laps, the first feature laps Justin has lead in the NASCAR Late Model division. Coming from tenth, Ty Majeski would power his way by Kirchner to take over second on lap eight. It would take Majeski only two laps to track down and zoom past Mullikin to take charge of the race. Yellow flew on lap 11 for an incident in turn two between Kirchner, Brad Powell, Jacob Goede and Nick Panitzke. This incident would be a big blow to Panitzke’s championship hopes. Off the restart, Majeski would leave the field in his dust. He built up as much as a straightaway lead over Nick Clements before yellow returned with three laps to go. The restart did not get far before yellow came out again for the spinning cars of Kirchner, Turner and Jonathan Eckelberg. Steve Carlson now lined up alongside Majeski for the restart. Majeski powered by Carlson and drove away to a comfortable win. After the race, Ty said “My car was running well all night. Things were clicking for us on the outside lane.” Nick Clements came home in third, Tom Carlson ran fourth and Justin Mullikin scored a career-best fifth place finish.

Just like Steve Bachman did in the Sportsmen feature four days ago, Tom Luethe did the same in tonight’s feature event. Luethe got the lead on lap two and built up a quarter of a lap over Bachman. Luethe would not be challenged the rest of the way as he claimed his first-ever Sportsmen feature victory.

Taylor Dobbs would also build a big lead in Thunderstox feature, but Dobbs would have to deal with veteran Jason Bolster in the closing laps. Not even a love tap on the final lap would stop Dobbs from winning his first Thunderstox in at least two years. Benjamin Arendt and his BWM would lead much of the Street Stock feature, but then lap traffic became an issue. Matt Moore would use the lap traffic to get around Arendt with five laps to go to score the win. The Street Stocks also got to run the 2nd Over the Line Wins novelty race. Alex Liebsch came from deep in the pack to win the first race. In the second race, Chris Larson would use patience to claim victory.

Action continues with a doubleheader of racing next weekend. It starts Friday, July 13th with another edition of the Friday Night Street Drags, presented by Jeff’s Auto & Cycle Repair.

Summer is now in full effect in the Coulee Region. With the 4th of July holiday here, it is a time to celebrate summer and this great country of ours. A huge crowd turned out for a special Tuesday night show at the LaCrosse Speedway, the annual Star Spangled Spectacular. The top two in the points were the main attractions of the evening. Reigning track champ Nick Pantizke scored the win in the first feature, while Steve Carlson drove off with the victory in feature number two.

Multi-time Madison champ Bobby Wilberg got around Mike Carlson to lead the first five circuits of feature number one for the NASCAR Late Models. Yellow flew on lap six for Brad Muller’s hard hit into the turn three wall. On the double file restart, fast qualifier Cole Howland motored by Wilberg to take over the race lead. Cole put some distance on Wilberg, who had to fight off the likes of Jacob Goede, Nick Panitzke and Steve Carlson. Yellow slowed the race with six laps to go for Jonathan Eckelberg’s stalled car on the front straight. After battling with Howland for the first two laps after the restart, Pantizke got around to take control of the race. A late race yellow set up a two-lap shootout, but no one had anything for Pantizke as he powered his way to his second straight win. Howland held off Steve Carlson for second, while Goede and Wilberg completed the top five.

The second feature for the NASCAR Late Models did not start well as Melissa Rusch and Jonathan Eckelberg came together on the front straight. Michael Beamish got by Nick Clements on the second try to take the top spot. Beamish would hold the lead through a second yellow just before halfway for contact between Jacob Goede and Matthew Henderson on the front straight. As the field came to green, another yellow quickly flew when Cole Howland lost it in turn four. Beamish now had Steve Carlson on his bumper. “The King of the Short Tracks” got around Beamish with six laps to go. A third caution came out with five laps to go for Carter Christenson’s spin. The checking up also caused Tony Bagstad to run up against the front straight wall. Carlson would drive away from the field on the final restart to claim his fifth win of the season. After the race, Carlson said “In the first feature, my car was a top five car at best. My crew made some adjustments, and my car came to life in the second feature.” Beamish scored a career-best second, followed by Panitzke, Clements and Wilberg.

Steve Bachman got to the front of the Sportsmen feature by lap three, and then the black 14 left the entire field in his wake. Bachman would build up a quarter-lap advantage over Chris Weber to capture a runaway win.

Brad Warthan returned to the Thunderstox wars for the first time in five years. Driving Brandon Gallagher’s car, Warthan took the lead on lap three and drove off a comfortable win in the feature event. The Hornet feature witnessed a great side-by-side battle between Kris Berg and Jimmy Bjorkman. Bjorkman would get the better of that battle and cruise to the win. Capping off the evening was the Race in Total Darkness. Adam Moore would stay ahead of Brad Warthan to claim a ‘lights out’ win.

Action continues on Saturday night, July 7th with the NASCAR Late Models, Sportsmen, Thunderstox, Street Stocks and their 2nd Over the Line Wins novelty race. Gates open at 6:00, qualifying takes place at 6:15 and racing begins at 7:30.

A beautiful night of racing greeted the race fans for the annual Autograph Night at the LaCrosse Speedway. Lots of autographs, lots of free stuff, and lots of prize and cash giveaways from the race teams. The fans were also treated to some great racing on the track. Nick Panitzke would drive away on the final restart to claim his first feature win since the Frostbuster, and take a bite out of Steve Carlson’s point lead.

The 18 machines of Mike Ehde and Jerimy Wagner led the field to green in the NASCAR Late Model feature. Ehde would get around Wagner to lead the first seven circuits until the yellow came out for Tom Carlson’s spin in turn two. Both cars lined up side by side again for the restart, but this time Wagner would power past Ehde to assume command of the race. Wagner maintained his lead, even with Nick Clements and Nick Panitzke running second and third at halfway. With five laps to go, the gremlins struck Wagner’s car again as he slowed on the back straight. That put Clements into the top spot. Yellow flew with four laps to go for another incident that caught up Carter and Ken Christenson. Pantizke lined up alongside of Clements on the restart. Panitzke wasted little time in taking over the race lead and scoring his second win of the season. After the race, Panitzke said “The restarts helped me out. I knew the final restart was my shot at the win because the short restarts were making me run better.” Steve Carlson got around Clements to take second, Mike Carlson came home in fourth and Minnesota driver Michael Beamish completed the top five.

Dan Secor led the opening laps of the Sportsmen feature, only to be caught and passed by Brian Hesselberg on lap seven. Hesselberg built up a huge lead, but Chris Weber made things interesting in the closing laps. After bobbing and weaving his way through the field, Weber tracked down Hesselberg and shot by with two laps to go to take the lead and the victory.

Taylor Dobbs would lead much of the Thunderstox feature, but veteran Adam Moore would catch him with six laps to go to score yet another win. An exciting Hornet feature capped off the night. Garrett Thicke lead most of the way, until lap traffic allowed Matt Carpenter to take over the lead briefly. Thicke would fight back to reclaim the lead and come away with the win.

Action continues next Saturday night, June 30th with the Wisconsin Lottery Smash-O-Rama. The Street Stocks and Mini-Vans will be racing, plus there will tons of other mayhem as well.

]]>Collector Series Poster to the first 500 fans!http://lacrossespeedway.com/2018/06/collector-series-poster-to-the-first-500-fans/
Wed, 20 Jun 2018 18:35:03 +0000http://lacrossespeedway.com/?p=2765Read More]]>June 21 2018 – (West Salem, WI) – The great folks at Pischke Motors will be presenting this weeks race event and the annual fan autograph session. That means the first 500 folks through the gate will receive a limited edition collectors posters of the 2018 Tobacco Outlet plus Grocery Late Models. In addition to the “wall art” (poster), there will be a full night of racing, including the Tobacco Outlet plus Grocery Late Models, Dean’s Satellite Sportsmen, Auto Value Thunderstox, and the A.N.T.S. complete pest control Hornets. Plus, the Hornets will compete in a “tag team” novelty event.
A “green” track, two weeks without racing and hot and humid weather = crashfest.

The perfect storm of factors led to yellow flag filled feature last Saturday. The race track was green (no rubber on the surface), race teams not getting any real racing in because of the rain outs, really hot temperatures and high humidity made for a long night for some teams. The racer as always will push the car to the maximum and with the factors making the track as slick as it was made the handling of the cars very difficult.

Fortunately, it appears we will have great temps this weekend and it will provide some cars that will be dialed in.

This could be the week that Steve Carlson’s win streak gets broken.

The annual fan photo will take place around 6:45 on the track. Race teams will be on hand with plenty of collectors cards, candy and other items. Be sure to have the Late Model drivers sign the collectors poster! Pischke Motors is presenting the race night and sponsoring the 25 lap main event for the Tobacco Outlet plus Grocery Late Models.
